The couple are just two of six from the Skating Club of Boston who didn't make it home after the coveted event. "Their son is on his way to D.C." Zeghibe continued. "He's scheduled to compete at the international Four Continents championship, but now I don't know if he's going to be doing that. He's also scheduled to be an alternate at the World Championships, so he has some tough decisions ahead of him and my heart goes out to him because it's both his parents."
Accompanied on the trip by her mother, Jin, who staff at the Skating Club of Boston said spent just as many hours near the ice as her daughter.
